Setting up manual or random enrolling groups
There are several options when it comes to creating groups. These instructions are specifically for
setting up several manual or random enrolling groups at once.
1. Navigate to “Users and Groups” under the Control Panel.
2. Click on the “Create Group Set” button at the top of the page and choose “Manual Enroll.”
3. Provide an umbrella name for the groups—something like “MIS101 Group Project.” You will
probably want to leave the rest of the settings in place. Under “Group Set Options,” you can
configure how many total groups you will need. Click Submit
4. Under “Group Set Enrollments, you can choose to either “Randomize Enrollments,” which will
randomly divide your students into your set number of groups, or you can manually choose
which groups in which to enroll your students.
5. Click Submit.
6. Your Groups should now appear on the Groups page.
Students don’t have access to the Control Panel area, including the Groups area there, so you might
want to set up a link elsewhere in the course for them to view their group and access Group Tools. Here
are the instructions for doing that:
1. Navigate to the area of your course you want students to see the group sign-up area. Perhaps
this week’s module or the Assignments area.
2. Click on the blue “Tools” button at the top of the page and select “Groups.”
3. Leave the settings on the next page as is. You do not need to make any adjustments here. Click
Next.
4. On the next page, click Submit. That should do it!
